ORIGIN

This 2001 Qvale Mangusta is finished in Tigre Yellow over black and shows just under 20k miles. Powered by a 4.6-liter V8 paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission, the car utilizes a steel chassis, resin transfer moulding body panels, and Ford running gear. A total of 284 Qvale Mangusta convertibles were built in Modena, Italy between 2000-2001, and the selling dealer acquired this car six months ago. In preparation for the auction, the seller has conducted a safety inspection and and changed the oil/filter. This 2001 Mangusta is offered with a Carfax report and clean New Jersey title.

Marcello Gandini-penned bodywork is finished in Tigre Yellow, and issues of paint cracking around the passenger door jamb and handle can be seen in the gallery. The targa-style roof panel is removed manually, while the roto roof, which pivots back at the touch of a button, is said to operate properly.

The car is equipped with Brembo brake calipers at all four corners, and front/rear sway bars were standard equipment. Stock 18″ allow wheels wear Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires, and curb rash and dry rotting on the edges of the rubber is shown below.

Black Italian leather seats are complemented by grey, cut-pile carpeting, and aluminum touches. Rear seats have shoulder/lap belts, and can be seen in the photo gallery.

The Mustang-sourced steering wheel fronts a six-gauge instrument cluster and a dash that is topped in stitched leather. Air conditioning was standard, and a Pioneer touch screen sits in the console. Just under 20k miles is shown on the digital odometer, and that is believed to be correct.

The 4.6-liter V8 was borrowed from the contemporary Mustang and is paired here with a 4-speed automatic transmission. The seller has recently changed the oil and filter.

The Carfax shows one entry in reference to the vehicle being offered for sale in 2017. Built in May 2001, this example is number 267 of 284 built, and one of 55 with an automatic transmission.
